What's new for Tomboy 0.6.0 (not released yet)?

Someone recently asked me what new features Tomboy 0.6.0 will have (which releases with GNOME 2.18). Instead of just referring to the NEWS file, here they are:

New GUI Features

• Bulleted Lists
  • Select "Bullets" from the Tools menu or just type a line that begins with a dash, add some text, and hit enter
• Note pinning in the main menu
  • Keep important notes in the main menu
  • http://www.gnome.org/projects/tomboy/images/applet-small.png
• Integrated search and table of contents window
  • http://www.gnome.org/projects/tomboy/images/search-small.png
• Firefox-like "find bar" for searching for text inside of a note
• Improved "Start Here" note with instructions on how to use linked notes
• Plugins can now be enabled/disabled from the Preferences Dialog
  • Also, if a plugin is configurable, you can do so there

Non-GUI Features

• Use NDesk's DBus Sharp (C# DBus Library)
• Additional DBus methods for note synchronization via Conduit (work in progress)

New Plugins

• NoteOfTheDay Plugin
• Automatically maintains a "Today" note for quick jotting-down of ideas on a daily basis
• Only "Today" notes that are modified are kept around (i.e., it automatically deletes yesterday's note if you never put anything in it yesterday)
• Bugzilla Plugin
• Drag and drop a bugzilla URL into your note and it will create a clickable link inside your note with a bug icon (configurable in the Preferences Dialog)
• Backlinks Plugin
• Use this to see which notes are linking to the note you're currently viewing (via the Tools menu)

If you've got particular interest in one or more of these, please help us test them out!

Tomboy updates

Hello Planet GNOME! Thank you jdub for including me here.

Just thought I'd give an update on how the Tomboy project is going. GNOME 2.18 will mark the second time Tomboy's been officially included as a GNOME Project. Some of the new features for this upcoming release (Tomboy 0.6.0) are:

• Bulleted list support (Chris Scobell rocks!)
• Pinned menu items (you won't lose important notes from your main Tomboy context menu)
• Configurable plugins (easy to enable/disable them)
• And many others...
  

Other non-coding updates:

• Number of frequent users in #tomboy is increasing (come join us)
• Project websites (still works in progress)
  
• For end-users: http://www.gnome.org/projects/tomboy/
• For developers: http://live.gnome.org/Tomboy/
• Road Map: http://live.gnome.org/Tomboy/RoadMap/
• Brainstorming: http://live.gnome.org/Tomboy/PlaceForNewIdeas/

I've been familiar with GNOME for quite a few years, but this is the first opportunity I've taken to help maintain a project. There's a lot I've still got to learn, but so far it's been a very positive experience. I'm always asking people whether they use Tomboy or not and what they'd like to see improved. If you have ideas, please let me know!
